Purg- first and foremost (and you mentioned this so its just a reminder...) take care of yourself for you and not for the attention or approval of anyone else.

OK, that aside, IMO, H is probably dealing with the reality of what he is giving up. There is probably a part of him that while he says he doesn't want you anymore, he probably isn't ready for anyone else to want you either. (so cover up as not to attack attention because you're attracting his...)

Although my sitch is reversed, its still very difficult to look at my W. I've always found her beautiful even when she dealt with weight issues. Now, however, she's lost about 60 lbs and wears far more stylish (and tight) clothes. Its very frustrating, and at times I get aggrivated with how she dresses. However I realize, that if things were good between us I'd probably love the way she dresses.

Guys notice. Its just that way. I think someone else mentioned this earlier in the thread as well but again, just a reminder. Be sure to look your best rather than trashy (for lack of a better word I guess). This is just me but at times my W has dressed in a way that screams more "MLC" than "I'm confident in who I am". And that is a turn-off.

Hope your little one is feeling better today. Stay busy, find a good book just for fun to keep your mind focused elsewhere if you find your mind too focused on your sitch.
